You cannot. When Sony is dominating the generation over its hard to procure Japanese titles. The Japanese are mostly cool with exclusivity. Even when the PS3 was around and Microsoft had a fair amount of Japanese games Sony still had more exclusive to their console. No matter what gen, since the Xbox arrived Sony has been the main platform for any person who likes JRPGs.

There's no such thing as they can't do it. There's nothing actually stopping them, no matter who is dominating which generation. 

Yeah, Sony as been the main platform for JRPGs but that's because it seems like Microsoft doesn't attempt to even get those games on their system much.

Last generation they at least had a fair shair of games like Lost Odyssey, but this generation it seems like they've done not much so far. Like I said, games like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, etc are great to have, but it needs more than just those games. 

The Xbox One and PS4 are so similar that porting shouldn't cost a lot to do. Even if Microsoft had to pay to get ports of certain Japanese games because the developers maybe think the game might not sell well on there so they want to be paid money just to cover the costs of porting it, I don't think it would cost them a lot. That would be a good way of a start to at least trying to get more Japanese games on the system.

As I said.... last gen Microsoft was beating Sony so they were given a fair shake. If Sony is winning just like the ps2 and ps1 era... god help Microsoft with getting through to Japan and even getting core Japanese titles out of third party exclusivity to Sony.
